Despite choosing what brand of coronavirus disease jab he should get earlier, President Duterte said Filipinos should not discriminate against the vaccine brands as he noted that most are waiting for the United States’ Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which have the highest efficacy rate among all vacci

The Chief Executive warned that he already ordered vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. to distribute the vaccines to different municipalities “with a blind eye.”

Duterte himself chose a brand of vaccine—the Sinopharm vaccine developed by Beijing Biological Products Institute under state-owned China National Biotec Group —despite it having only a compassionate use permit from the country’s Food and Drug Administration .But on Tuesday, Duterte argued that all vaccines “are the same” since “they are all potent, they are all effective.”“The only reason is ayaw ko magkaroon ng istorya na may pinapaboran kami dito. Wala. Hindi ako papayag na magpili-pili.

The Philippines also signed a renegotiated agreement to procure some 40 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which has an efficacy rate of 95 percent against symptoms seven days after the second dose. Along with Moderna, it is considered to be the gold standard in COVID-19 vaccines.Even the World Health Organization said that vaccine confidence will improve in the Philippines once Pfizer’s vaccines start to arrive.
